One reason why J.L. Long is so special is the staff and community who help bring opportunities to our students. From band, Treasurettes, cheer, and athletics there is truly something for kids to become involved in and a talent to develop. Thank you to all of our students and staff for making Long such a special and beautiful place.

Get ready for an exciting look into your future! On Friday, October 30th, all J.L. Long 8th graders are invited to an unforgettable afternoon of school spirit and connection with Woodrow Wilson High School.
